New Book

The last time I was at the library, I picked up one of the influx of environmentally-focused books the Brevard County Library system has ordered: Renee Loux's Easy Green Living.

Let me tell you, this is a thorough book. I normally can peruse a book like this, take a page or two of notes, and get on with life. This book, however, is so full of specific and useful information, you basically have to own it to take advantage of even a fraction of its helpfulness.

It has chapters on green cleaning basics, green kitchens/bathrooms/bedrooms, "eco-fresh" laundry, energy-efficient lighting, "sustainable, ecological home furnishing and materials," and natural beauty products. For each topic, the book offers an overview, in-depth details, and detailed product information. Need to know where to find green cleaning supply brands? This book tells you. Need to know how to trust in the building industry? Likewise. A veritable treasure trove of information.

Next time you're in your public library or in the market for a good book, consider picking up Easy Green Living. Not an entertaining read per se, but an excellent book to have as you're "learning the ropes" of green living.
